Bengaluru police arrest one for making threat calls against rationalist Prof Bhagwan

The Bengaluru police have arrested one person for allegedly making a threat call to rationalist and writer Professor KS Bhagwan. A 40-year-old man, working in a hostel in Hubli, was arrested for the threat call.

The suspect had allegedly made threat call to the Sahitya Academy office in Bengaluru. He had reportedly made more than 20 calls to the office.

He had objected to the Academy choosing Professor Bhagwan for the Karnataka Sahitya Academy award.

Meanwhile, reports said that the police had provided security to the office bearers of the academy. The academy is slated to present the award to the rationalist leader on November 7.

This comes days after the murder of rationalist leaders MM Kalaburgi and Govind Pansare.
